The Swiss writer of whom Hermann Hesse famously declared, "If he had a hundred thousand readers, the world would be a better place," Robert Walser (1878-1956) is only now finding an audience among English-speaking readers commensurate with his merits--if not with his self-image. After a wandering, precarious life during which he produced poems, essays, stories, and novels, Walser entered an insane asylum, saying, "I am not here to write, but to be mad." Many of the unpublished works he left were in fact written in an idiosyncratically abbreviated script that was for years dismissed as an impenetrable private cipher. Fourteen texts from these so-called pencil manuscripts are included in this volume--rich evidence that Walser's microscripts, rather than the work of incipient madness, were in actuality the product of desperate genius building a last reserve, and as such, a treasure in modern literature. With a brisk preface and a chronology of Walser's life and work, this collection of fifty translations of short prose pieces covers the middle to later years of the writer's oeuvre. It provides unparalleled insight into Walser's creative process, along with a unique opportunity to experience the unfolding of his rare and eccentric gift. His novels The Robber (Nebraska 2000) and Jakob von Gunten are also available in English translation.Binding Type: Paperback

"Showstopper Suit That Turned Heads All Night!”
Size: Medium, Color: Violet Purple, Size: Medium, Color: Violet Purple
I absolutely love this suit. We bought it specifically to match my son's girlfriend's prom dress, and it could not have been a more perfect choice. After she picked out her gown, I spent the entire Sunday searching for a suit that would complement it, and when I saw this one, I knew it was the one. The colors, the pattern, the style—it all came together perfectly.
When prom day came, my son looked so confident, handsome, and proud. He and his date looked stunning together, like they coordinated their outfits down to the smallest detail. You could tell they were a couple just by the way they complemented each other. He received nonstop compliments, not only at the prom send-off but even later that night when we went to Texas Roadhouse. People were turning their heads and praising the look. It was truly a moment.
This was hands down one of the best purchases I have ever made on Amazon. I do not usually write reviews, but this suit deserves the recognition. It was sleek, bold, well-fitted, and absolutely top tier. If you're considering this suit, do it. It is a total showstopper.

Good value
No give to the fabric so it was a little snug but over all great tux for the price. Had to cut a few loose threads on the inside of the jacket but other than that no issues.

Comfortable & Attractive!
Size: Large, Color: Yellow, Size: Large, Color: Yellow
Husband love all their styles. Soft, flexible and comfortable. He looks amazing in it and received a ton of compliments, even won the best dressed award! He’s 5’10” and roughly 180#. True to its size and breathable. He says his “man area” is even comfortable and not squished like most suits do. Color is true as well.
